Hello,

Tracing Welsh ancestry, I've come across names I would not have
associated with Wales.  Sometimes the Southwest Wales people moved 
back and forth between their country and England which may account
for some of the names sounding more "English" than "Welsh" - or
maybe I just have a lot to learn.  I do know that the Northern Wales
population stayed "put" more often - that is where can be found
names like JONES, THOMAS, HUGHES, PRICE, WILLIAMS, HOWELL.

So..............

Here are some surnames from various parts of Wales, UK taken from
census records 1861-1891:

ACRES, ADAMS, AGRES, ALBERT, ALLDRIDGE, ALLEN, ANDERSON, ANGROV,
ANTHONY, ARNOLD, ARROWSMITH, ARTHUR, ASHBURNHAM, ASHEFORD, ASHMAN,
ASHWORTH, ASTLEY, ATHERTON, ATKINSON, AUBREY, AUTHUR, BADGER, 
BANNISTER, BARKLEY, BARNES, BARNETT, BASSETT, BATH, BEESBY, BENBOUGH,
BENNETT, BERWICK, BEST, BETHEL, BEVAN, BEYNON, BIONO, BLACKMORE,
BLAIR, BLAKEMORE, BLARTHER, BLOW, BONNEL, BONNELL, BOOTH, BOWDEN,
BOWEN, BOWSER, BRABYN, BRASSINGTON, BRAZEL, BREWSKA, BRIGGS, BRITTAN,
BROWNSWORD, BUCKLEY, BUNYON, BURGESS, BURNS, BURRETT, BURROWS, BUSH,
BUTLER, BUTT, BYNON.

If there is any interest in this subject, I'll post more of the
alphabet.
